One Big Month!

Hey all,

This will just be a quick post, I'm hoping to make a more in-depth (read: drawn-out) post later this weekend, though we shall see.  I do have to thank everyone for checking this, though.  I've had over 100 page views in my first month, and I'm having a blast doing this, too.

Just a couple of pictures (literally, a couple) of my first venture into Angeles National Forest for today.

That's what a day of trail running in the desert will do.  I'm hoping to start a foundation to vacuum the place so I don't have this problem again.

That's my top half after the run.  I was attempting to get the sea of mountain peaks in the background, which was absolutely stunning.  Unfortunately, I guess you had to be there.

The trail I ran on was about 2,500 feet higher in elevation than where I live, so I assumed that it wouldn't be too big of a difference.  Yeah, it was just like being in the city of Los Angeles, even down to the ski hills.  I also knew that it would be in my best interest to carry a spare 20 pounds of water and emergency supplies on this short five-mile run in the mountains.

I had a blast, and I can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning to a brand-new kind of sore.

Thanks again, everybody!
